Building Gen AI with MongoDB & AI Partners | June 2024

Even for those of us who work in AI, keeping up with the latest news in the AI space can be head-spinning. In just the last few weeks, OpenAI introduced their newest model (GPT-4o), Anthropic continued to develop Claude with the launch of Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and Mistral launched Mixtral 8x22B, their most efficient open model to date. And those are only a handful of recent releases!

In such an ever-changing space, partnerships are critical to combining the strengths of organizations to create solutions that would be challenging to develop independently. Also, it can be overwhelming for any one business to keep track of so much change. So there’s a lot of value in partnering with industry leaders and new players alike to bring the latest innovations to customers.

I’ve been at MongoDB for less than a year, but in that time our team has already built dozens of strategic partnerships that are helping companies and developers build AI applications faster and safer. I love to see these collaborations take off!

A compelling example is MongoDB’s recent work with Vercel. Our team developed an exciting sample application that allows users to deploy a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) application on Vercel in just a few minutes. By leveraging a MongoDB URI and an OpenAI key, users can one-click deploy this application on Vercel.

Another recent collaboration was with Netlify. Our team also developed a starter template that implements a RAG chatbot on top of their platform using LangChain and MongoDB Atlas Vector Search capabilities for storing and searching the knowledge base that powers the chatbot’s responses.

These examples demonstrate the power of combining MongoDB’s robust database capabilities with other deployment platforms. They also show how quickly and efficiently users can set up fully functional RAG applications, and highlight the significant advantages that partnerships bring to the AI ecosystem.

And the best part? We’re just getting started! Stay tuned for more information about the MongoDB AI Applications Program later this month.

Welcoming new AI partners

Speaking of partnerships, in June we welcomed seven AI partners that offer product integrations with MongoDB. Read on to learn more about each great new partner.
